Hi all,
still having problems with apt-get, have tried repository generator
http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic with 

deb http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper
deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper

with same results, can't find package, errors
Err http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe Packages
  Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection [IP:
85.133.25.7 80]

file (malformed Release file?)

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

Had no problems with Breezy, tried Breezy list(which worked fine with
Breezy) modified to Dapper, with errors everywhere,
18% [30 Packages gzip 0] [31 Packages 575/3225kB 0%]
4902B/s 21m25s
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)

Is it possible that something was not installed properly? Should I
re-install?
Thanks in advance
Take Care
Winton
